Kennebecasis Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kennebecasis Island (also called McCormack's Island) is a small island located in the Kennebecasis River opposite the City of Saint John. It is a seasonal community of about 100 cottages and a small golf course. In the late 1990's, Darling Construction developed a subdivision on the island which saw a new boat launch, the golf course and many cottages. The development is called Island Estates. See [1]
It is reachable by a small cable ferry from May to Mid-November only which takes less than five minutes and leaves from Summerville on the Kingston Peninsula. After November, the only way to reach it is by driving or walking across the ice. The roads are not paved and can be very rough at times.
The north and east of the island is bordered by Milkish Channel, the west by Grand Bay, and south by the Kennebecasis River. An inlet called McCormack's Cove juts into the island's south side.
